“We’re going to the amusement park you and Carter used to take Theo to. Kelly, if you wish to come, you can,” Sharon said.

Carter’s fingers tightened unconsciously around the steering wheel. He and Kelly had

indeed brought Theo here a few times. But with Sharon, never once. 2

Kelly’s voice softened. “Alright, I’ll call once I arrive.”

When the call ended, silence filled the car.

Not long after, Matty, ever the lively one, found a new topic and soon had Sharon chatting

again. Carter and Xavier, however, remained quiet.

By the time they reached the amusement park, Kelly was already waiting inside. That

simple act revealed her true intention-she was determined to join them.

Theo quickly handed her the lipstick. “Kelly, this is yours.”

Kelly gave a sheepish smile. “I was far too careless, always forgetting things.”

Xavier quipped, “If you didn’t insist on riding in Carter’s car, you wouldn’t have this trouble

at all.”

Kelly forced a laugh. “Xavier, you do love to joke.” 1

He let the matter drop with a faint smile.

With her presence, their little group-two men, two women, and two children-looked less like an odd arrangement and more like two families out for the day.

Good looks drew eyes wherever they went. Passersby whispered as they watched the striking adults with their adorable children.

“These two boys are beautiful. I’ve never seen such handsome little ones.”

“Well, look at their parents. How could they not be?”

“That boy… he’s the spitting image of the tall, cool-looking man. No doubt about their

relation.”

“The other one doesn’t resemble his father as much, but that man is gorgeous too. Definitely my type!”

“I just can’t tell which of those two women is the real mother.”

At that moment, Sharon held both boys’ hands, her gentle smile making it hard to tell who belonged to whom.

Meanwhile, Kelly lingered at Carter’s side, chatting in a way that invited misunderstanding.

“Carter,” she said sweetly, “the next competition begins the day after tomorrow. Will you

come watch?”

Carter’s face remained unreadable. “I have contracts to sign that day. No time.”

Undeterred, she pressed on. “Then when are you free?”

He didn’t answer, but his gaze drifted, almost unconsciously, toward Sharon.

Kelly noticed and bit down lightly on her lip before forcing another smile. “Sharon is competing too. You could come see her performance. She ranked first last time, after all.”

Only then did Carter glance at her. “I hadn’t realized she was that capable.” [x

Kelly’s expression faltered before she lowered her eyes and murmured, “Sharon has improved so much lately. Unlike me… if I don’t advance, I’ll only fall behind. At this rate, I might not even place at all. Perhaps I’ll be eliminated…”

Though he hadn’t seen it in person, Carter had rewatched the video of that part of the competition. Sharon’s score spoke for itself; her victory in the kindergarten contest was no

stroke of luck. 2

But Kelly…

Remembering her illness, his expression softened slightly. ‘

“You’re pretty good too. Don’t belittle yourself.”

While they spoke, the two boys tugged Sharon toward the carousel. She didn’t refuse and

chose a pumpkin carriage close to them.

As soon as she sat, someone slid into the seat across from her.

She looked up… and froze.

It was Xavier.

Her eyes widened, momentarily dazed.

“Xavier… you’re riding the carousel too?”
